Correspondence OF the Gazette.
GRANBURY, TEX June 21.-The Fort
Worth and Rio Grande completed their
track-lsying to the east bank of the
Brazos river last night about dark. Our
entire town enjoyed the pleasure of the
whistle and rumblings of the locomotive
at the completion of the bank. Quite a
number of our citizens went over to wit
ness the arrival at the bride of the entire
force. Work began bright and esrly
this morning by very large force of men
in putting in the largest iron bridge in
Texas which will take about a month to
com lete, and while this work goes on
Contractor Hughes keeps his force of
graders steadily at work on the grade
which is now graded to the depot
grounds, but his contract reaches a half
mile further beyond the depot site.
A CORPS Of engineers and assistants,
numbering about twenty. five, passed
through town yesterday and caRped two
miles west of town, at which place they
begin locating the line, first to Stephens
vile and on to San Al gelo. Our people
were all cheered up when they learned
that the survey would be pushed forward
to completion. The immediate extern
sion of the road will be better for Gran
bury than for the town to be the term!-
nus for awhile. Granbury's prospects
are brighter notwithstanding the dry
weather we are having now than ever
before, and now is the time for people to
come and take glimpse at our beautiful
little city on the banks of the Brazos
river, and with the finest schools in any
western town. Moneyed men can do
we'll here now, better than probably
again, as the demand for the money is
greater than any other one.
